CONGRATULATORY MESSAGE - Faculty of Health Sciences

CONGRATULATORY MESSAGE Graduation is a milestone event deserving of celebration. It is the culmination of an academic journey over many years in which you worked hard, persevered and no doubt overcame many challenges. You and your loved ones have made many sacrifices in pursuit of your qualification. You have acquired new knowledge in your chosen field, and grappled with matters deserving of our collective attention, like sustainability, poverty and social injustice.

Yes, such a crowning moment in your life must be acknowledged and celebrated with pride and joy.

This joy is ours too, for graduation is the highlight of our University calendar as we witness successful students cross the stage to be capped and enter a new chapter of their lives. Each of you has a unique story to tell and an exciting journey ahead.

While we are confident that Mandela University has equipped you with an excellent academic qualification for the challenges of life and work to come, we are equally hopeful that you will live the legacy of our namesake.

With the honour of being the only University in the world to bear the name of one of the world’s greatest icons, Nelson Mandela, comes huge responsibilities. Nothing less than adhering and advancing the efforts of our former President will suffice. You are encouraged to continue his and our quest towards a more just, healthy and equal society.

Regardless of your chosen career, use your new-found qualification as a force for good, strive to serve a cause larger than yourself and endeavour to change the world for the better. As in the words of Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela himself “education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world”.

We thank you for entrusting your dreams with us. It’s you who make us want to do better, for it’s you, our students, who give our institution a human face. It’s you who will live his and our legacy.

We applaud and salute your achievement and wish you all the best in your future endeavours. As Nelson Mandela University alumni, we look forward to watching your story unfold.

Congratulations! Dr Geraldine Fraser-Moleketi Prof Sibongile Muthwa Chancellor Vice-Chancellor

ABOUT NELSON MANDELA UNIVERSITY Nelson Mandela University is a new generation university, distinguished by a wide range of study options and access routes open to students. With 470 programmes from certificate through to doctoral level across 200 different career fields, Nelson Mandela University truly is a comprehensive university. Founded on more than a century of quality higher education, Nelson Mandela University nurtures innovation, fosters creativity, embraces technology and develops people towards changing the world for the better. The University was previously known as Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University (NMMU), but on 20 July 2017 it was officially re-launched as Nelson Mandela University – the only university in the world to have been given this privilege. Our alumni also come from the University of Port Elizabeth, the PE Technikon and Port Elizabeth campus of Vista University, as these three institutions were combined to form NMMU in 2005. The University has a strong record of research, working extensively in partnership with business and industry, and has an even more exciting future ahead of it, especially in terms of its contribution to the socio-economic development of the metro, region, country and continent of Africa. This is due, among other new and growing ventures, to Nelson Mandela University’s bold journey towards becoming the leading destination for all Ocean Sciences postgraduate teaching, learning, research and engagement in Africa with the launch of its dedicated campus in September 2017. Our campuses The launch of the Ocean Sciences Campus means Nelson Mandela University now has seven campuses and about 27 000 students. Six of Nelson Mandela University’s campuses are in Nelson Mandela Bay and one is in George on the Garden Route. The seven campuses are: • South Campus in Summerstrand (within a 720-hectare private nature reserve) • North Campus in Summerstrand • Ocean Sciences Campus, adjacent to North and South campuses in Summerstrand • Second Avenue Campus, home to our “green” Business School, in Summerstrand • Bird Street Campus, a growing postgraduate arts hub in Central • Missionvale Campus in Missionvale • George Campus in George Facilities and supportive teaching and learning environment Nelson Mandela University is privileged to have outstanding facilities. All students have access to well-equipped laboratories, some of which are open 24/7, and free Wi-Fi throughout all its campuses. All lecture halls are equipped with the latest technology and students have the opportunity of using additional e-learning tools online. The campus libraries and information services network offers a state-of-the-art integrated online system. There are cafeterias, food courts and coffee shops. A range of opportunities is provided to enhance the academic success of students. These include a first-year orientation programme, peer-facilitated learning opportunities (eg, Supplemental Instruction, e-PAL, tutorials, practicals, mentor programmes, ‘Keys to Success’ workshops and online resources). The University also promotes learning and development beyond the classroom towards enhancing holistic student development. To recognise this learning, Nelson Mandela University has developed an innovative, electronic co-curricular record system. This record complements the students’ academic record. The University also offers the finest sporting facilities in the Eastern Cape and numerous venues for conferences, meetings and other special events. Faculties Nelson Mandela University has seven faculties. They are: • Arts • Business and Economic Sciences • Education • Engineering, the Built Environment and Information Technology • Health Sciences • Law • Science

Academic focus areas Though the University prides itself on its vast range of programme offerings, it has a number of strategic areas in terms of its core business of teaching and learning, research and engagement. These are: • Health and wellness • Economic and business development with a focus on job creation and entrepreneurship • Materials and process development for industry and manufacturing • Emerging information and communications technology for development • Environmental and natural resource management • Culture, communication and language • Leadership, governance, democracy and justice • Educational development in support of excellence in teaching, learning and curriculum • Infrastructure and human settlement development

Strategic research areas • Biodiversity conservation and restoration • Coastal marine and shallow water ecosystems • Cyber citizenship • Democratisation, conflict and poverty • Earth Stewardship Science • Health and wellbeing • Humanising pedagogies • Manufacturing technology and engineering • Nanoscale characterisation and development of strategic materials • Science, Mathematics and Technology Education for Society • Strategic energy technologies • Sustainable human settlement development and management • Sustainable local economic development Research and Engagement entities Nelson Mandela University has more than 30 focused institutes, centres and units that exist over and above the formal academic structures. These are aimed at promoting research, technology transfer and innovation. They include the likes of InnoVenton, the University’s go-getting Institute for Chemical Technology and Downstream Chemicals; eNtsa, an institute that focuses on seeking solutions through engineering; Earth Stewardship Science Research Institute (ESSRI); and the Institute for Coastal and Marine Research. Many are award-winning entities. The University also has many more engagement institutes, centres and units and two clinics serving society in various initiatives. Its mobile Zanemphilo health platform, for example, serves both indigent communities and its Health Sciences students with practical experience. The latter forms part of the growing Interprofessional Education (IPE) that will undergird the University’s Health Science qualifications as it moves towards the formalisation of its Medical School. ‘Green’ endeavours In line with its value of respect for the natural environment, Nelson Mandela University is involved in a large number of “green” initiatives that will not only reduce its own carbon footprint but is also assisting others in seeking renewable energy resource solutions. The University’s Business School, for example, was the first in the country to be awarded four-star “green” accreditation for a public and education building by the Green Building Council of South Africa in 2013. The “green” agenda is supported by the Centre for Renewable Energy, which is recognised as a research leader in the field, and the University’s overriding strategic priority towards all-round environmental economic and environmental sustainability. International links About 8% of the University’s student body comes from 84 different countries outside of South Africa. The Office for International Education fosters relationships and manages inter-institutional linkages to enrich both Nelson Mandela University staff and students. These partnerships also foster our growing research.

RE-IMAGINING GRADUATION AT NELSON MANDELA UNIVERSITY

Our new name, evolving identity and institutional vision offers us an ideal opportunity to collectively explore how we would like to celebrate graduation at Nelson Mandela University.

What should an African university graduation associated with one of the world’s most iconic leaders, the late Nelson Mandela, look and feel like?

It is this question that is presently being asked of Nelson Mandela University alumni, staff and students via surveys, focus groups and informal discussions.

We want our graduation ceremonies to offer an authentic expression of who we are … one that embraces our rich multi-cultural diversity.

Examining all parts

To do so, the focus groups and surveys have examined our new identity, why we celebrate and how we should celebrate – particularly graduation, which is the apex of the academic journey of commitment, sacrifice and an affirmation of our intellectual ability.

What is the best format of our ceremonies? How do we visually express our success? How do we celebrate within socially acceptable norms – norms that embrace all cultures with dignity and pride? How should we dress?

Feedback

The input received to date from the university’s key stakeholders in painting a picture of our future graduation ceremonies, has been consistently shared, in a parallel process, with a design team which won a tender to design new academic gowns for office bearers. This does not include gowns worn by graduates, but rather those worn by the likes of our Chancellor, Vice-Chancellor and Chairperson of Council, our deans, the Registrar and other key academic staff.

Interestingly, there has been overwhelming support to retain the academic gowns but in a manner befitting of our vision as a “dynamic African” university.

The new gowns, along with other agreed-upon aspects of our graduation ceremonies – from their size through to the supporting cultural performances – will hopefully be finalised in time for our 2018 Summer Graduation

BUSISIWE TANDO TABISO LUJABE

Previous Qualifications 1991 BA (Social Work) University of the Witwatersrand 2013 MA (Development Studies) Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University Thesis A STRATEGY TO ENHANCE THE ROLE OF THE CHURCH AS A SOCIAL SERVICE DELIVERY AGENT IN FIGHTING POVERTY IN CONTEMPORARY SOUTH AFRICA In spite of socio-political gains made during South Africa’s transition to democratisation, poverty remains a serious challenge for the country given the legacy of apartheid and consequences of structural inequality. This study developed a strategy for “reawakening co-operativeness” as a practical guide to enhancing the role of the church in sustainable social service delivery in the fight against poverty in contemporary South Africa. The thesis makes a valuable contribution to discourse and knowledge around social development, and emphasises the need for establishing collaborative relationships that address the drift of churches and faith-based organisations from their historical role in the development.

Previous qualifications: 2006 Bsc Hons Psychology University of Zimbabwe 2008 Diploma in Personnel Management Institute of Personnel Management Zimbabwe 2012 BA Hons Psychology Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University 2014 MA Psychology Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University Thesis: BLACK SOUTH AFRICAN MEN’S ADJUSTMENT TO DIVORCE: A DIVORCE-STRESS-ADJUSTMENT MODEL Black South African men’s experience of, action in, and adjustment to divorce has been relatively neglected in the divorce research, yet it is important for the understanding of contemporary social arrangements and processes. This study developed a divorce-stress-adjustment model. The model considered both the unique strengths and weaknesses of the divorce-stress adjustment experience by highlighting the discretion of negative coping with stress that intensifies depression symptoms during the divorce process. In addition, the dysfunctional interaction with a former spouse complicates the process of establishing a new autonomous life after divorce, thereby undermining co-parenting children from the marriage.

ALIDA SANDISON

Previous qualifications: 1999 BA University of Port Elizabeth 2000 BA Hons (Psych) University of Port Elizabeth 2005 MA Psychology (Co) Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University 2009 PGCE UNISA Thesis: NARCISSISTIC DEFENSES AND ALIENTATION IN THE LIFE OF HOWARD HUGHES: A CASE STUDY Narcissism is a personality configuration which has both normal and pathological personality expressions. This study examined the narcissistic personality configuration through examining the life of Howard Hughes. The findings confirmed the presence of primitive defense mechanisms within Hughes’ patterns, and confirmed the defense mechanisms as alienating others. Learnings produced from this examination were presented in a model to be used in clinical practice to support others in interaction with narcissistic individuals. Steps outlined within the model included, understanding, decontaminating and reconstructing, reaffirming reality, and finding something positive.


WIM ROUXAND KUIT

Previous qualifications: 2004 BPsych (Cum Laude) University of Port Elizabeth 2006 MA in Clinical Psychology (Cum Laude) Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University Thesis: DEVELOPMENT AND EVALUATION OF THE COACH-ATHLETE RELATIONSHIP ENHANCEMENT INTERVENTION The coach-athlete relationship (CAR) plays a central role in the performance, satisfaction and well-being of both coaches and athletes. This study developed a Coach-Athlete Relationship Enhancement (CARE) intervention through an integration of the Enneagram personality typology with current models of the coach-athlete relationship, and evaluated the CARE intervention’s impact on CAR quality. The CARE intervention significantly enhanced CAR quality, including enhanced self-awareness, enhanced team relationships, and adaptive interpersonal behaviour change in both coaches and athletes. The study moves the field into unchartered territory towards practically and systematically supporting coaches and athletes to optimise their interpersonal effectiveness, well-being, satisfaction and performance.
